Biography

Origins

As a reformed ex-convict, Klaus Voorhees became the lab assistant to the renowned medical researcher Ezekiel Shecktor. At the side of the scientist, Voorhees learned a great deal about serpents and chemistry while growing increasingly envious of his professor. At the peak of his jealousy, Voorhees used an irradiated cobra to poison and kill Shecktor. To mask his crime, Voorhees allowed the cobra to bite him as well, but used an experimental anti-toxin to counteract the venom. As a result, Voorhees gained powers similar to those of a cobra. Voorhees became King Cobra, the leader of the Serpent Society.[2]
